The star of the movie Clueless
The film Clueless made Alicia Silverstone one of Hollywood's hottest actresses for a brief moment in 1995. Alicia Silverstone had already made a small splash in 1993, frolicking with Liv Tyler as a sexy teen truant in the music video for the Aerosmith song "Crazy." Two years later she played Cher, the frothy social butterfly in Clueless, a romantic comedy loosely based on Jane Austen's book Emma. Clueless was a smash and Silverstone quickly signed a multi-million dollar studio deal and set up her own production company, but she never found another role that suited her so well.
She appeared as Batgirl in Batman and Robin (1997, with George Clooney as Batman), as another sexy truant in Excess Baggage (1997, with Benicio Del Toro) and as the love interest in the comedy Blast From the Past (1999, with Christopher Walken), then had lesser roles in films like Beauty Shop (2005, with Queen Latifah),

Initially, Alicia's career was founded on her sexiness. Her lascivious demeanor in the Aerosmith videos is what made them so popular, and it's that same attitude that made people take notice of her in the movies The Crush (1993) and Clueless (1995).
After a short modeling career, during which she worked for companies like Levi's Dockers and Marshalls, Alicia Silverstone switched over to television commercials, most notably for Domino's Pizza. A guest appearance on The Wonder Years followed in 1992.

The thriller The Crush (1993) was Alicia's first motion picture and she followed it up with two TV movie efforts, Torch Song and Scattered Dreams, both also released in 1993. She was then hired as the "Aerosmith Chick," appearing in three of the band's music videos: "Cryin'," "Crazy" and "Amazing."
After a third TV movie, Cool and the Crazy (1994), Alicia was busy in 1995 with Hideaway, The Babysitter, Le Nouveau Monde, and the blockbuster comedy Clueless, which launched Alicia as a teen queen.
Then came True Crime (1996), Excess Baggage (1997), her first feature as a producer, and Batman & Robin (1997), in which she played Batgirl.
Alicia's next projects were Blast from the Past (1999) with Brendan Fraser, the Shakespearean musical Love's Labour's Lost (2000) and the animated series Braceface in 2001. A year later, she was seen in Rock My World and, in 2003, she appeared in Scorched.
Her later forays into the limelight included the short-lived NBC series Miss Match, as well as Scooby-Doo 2: Monsters Unleashed (2004), Silence Becomes You (2004) and Beauty Shop (2005). In 2006, she acted alongside Ewan McGregor in Stormbreaker.
licia (pronounced Uh-liss-ee-uh) Silverstone was born on October 4, 1976 in San Francisco, California. The daughter of Monty, a real estate investor and financial consultant, and Didi, a former airline stewardess, Silverstone traveled to England with her family during summer vacations to visit relatives.

Hailed as the teen queen of the mid-'90s, Alicia Silverstone rapidly ascended the summit of idolism with the help of an infamous Aerosmith video and starring roles in the cult trash favorite The_Crush, and Amy_Heckerling's sleeper hit Clueless. Despite such a promising beginning to her career, however, the vivacious, green-eyed blonde subsequently weathered a series of professional set-backs, due to poor film choices, weight issues, and an industry increasingly congested with such similarly ebullient young starlets as Sarah_Michelle_Gellar and Jennifer_Love_Hewitt. By the end of the decade, Silverstone's future looked uncertain, although many observers noted that her youth and talent made her chances for a comeback entirely plausible.

Silverstone's time in the spotlight began as a model at the age of 6, after her father began taking pictures of her to submit to modeling agencies. Although her heart was really in acting, Silverstone landed several modeling gigs for companies such as Levi's Dockers and Marshalls. The modeling jobs led to television commercials -- such as a spot in a Domino's Pizza ad -- which eventually led to appearances on sitcoms, most notably as a "dream girl" in The Wonder Years in 1992.
Born to English parents in San Francisco on October 4, 1976, Silverstone is the daughter of a real-estate agent and an airline stewardess. She began working as a child model at the age of six after her father sent several pictures of her in a bathing suit to a few agencies. Modeling work led to TV commercials, which in turn led to work on a number of TV series including an episode of The_Wonder_Years which cast her as Fred_Savage's literal dream girl. At the age of 15, Silverstone landed her first starring role in The_Crush (1993), a Fatal_Attraction for the Noxema set in which she portrayed a young woman obsessed with an older man (Cary_Elwes). Although the film was trashed by critics, it was a hit among its teenage target audience, and Silverstone -- who had become legally emancipated from her parents while making the film in order to work longer hours -- was feted at the 1994 MTV Movie Awards with trophies for Best Villain and Breakthrough Performance. Around the same time, she starred in the popular music video for Aerosmith's "Crazy." Her onscreen antics with Liv_Tyler, daughter of Aerosmith frontman Steven, coupled with her vampish turn in The_Crush virtually ensured Silverstone's status as Hollywood's latest embodiment of nubile, underage female sexuality.
Silverstone's real break came with her starring role as the spoiled, meddlesome, but ultimately endearing Cher Horowitz in Amy_Heckerling's Clueless (1995). A very loose and modern adaptation of Jane_Austen's -Emma, the film was a huge sleeper hit, and Silverstone was roundly praised for her effervescent performance. In the wake of the film's success, the actress signed a ten-million-dollar deal with Columbia that included a three-year first-look deal for her own company, First Kiss Productions. She also won the coveted role of Batgirl in Batman & Robin, something that allowed her to contemplate breaking out of the teen sexpot mode.
Unfortunately, the actress was subsequently besieged with a number of problems, ranging from unending industry criticism of her weight to her first excursion as a producer, Excess_Baggage (1997). The film, which also served as a starring vehicle for Silverstone, was a thoroughly misguided kidnapping comedy that failed to win favor with either audiences or critics. To add insult to injury, Silverstone's other major 1997 project, the long-awaited Batman & Robin, was one of the year's most expensive critical and commercial flops.

After a nearly two-year absence from the screen, Silverstone resurfaced in 1999 with Blast from the Past. A likable romantic comedy that cast her as a cynical Valley girl opposite Brendan_Fraser, the film enjoyed modest success. Silverstone followed it with a starring role as the French princess in Kenneth_Branagh's much-anticipated musical adaptation of Shakespeare's Love's_Labour's_Lost (2000), which saw the actress interpreting the Bard and Irving_Berlin alongside the likes of Branagh, Nathan_Lane, Matthew_Lillard, and Alessandro_Nivola.
In 2001, Silverstone played an American rocker in England for the straight-to-video Rock_My_World (aka Global_Heresay), which, despite providing little more than a blip on her resumé, gave her the opportunity to work with the iconic Peter O'Toole. After serving as executive producer for the animated television series Braceface, Silverstone went on to star in NBC's 2003 sketch comedy Miss_Match, which featured the young actress as a divorced lawyer cum matchmaker whose good intentions were not necessarily met with equally positive results. In the same year, she starred opposite Rachael_Leigh_Cook in Scorched; this time playing a disgruntled bank teller. Silverstone played a role in Scooby_Doo_2:_Monsters_Unleashed alongside fellow twentysomethings Sarah_Michelle_Gellar and Freddie_Prinze_Jr. in the summer of 2004. A subsequent trip to the salon in Beautyshop found Silverstone continuing to keep audiences in stitches, and in 2006 she would join Ewan McGregor, Bill Nighy, Missi Pyle, and Alex Pettyfer in bringing author Anthony Horowitz's adolescent daredevil to the screen in the family-oriented action adventure Stormbreaker.
